After the study of the Mothers of the complex, it was time for a short lecture from Mr. Kyai, who was deliberately invited by Rafiq's father.
Akmal Daritadi is not seen alone, because he gets a mandate alias duty from the father to pick up Mr. Kyai. And Alhamdulillah Akmal can pick up Mr. Kyai safely until home.
Akmal, who is currently listening to a lecture from Mr. Kyai, accidentally remembered the advice that Mr. Kyai had conveyed earlier to him, while still in the car.
" Life is like an ice cube, son, if you leave it in the open, it will melt, if you put it in the freezer, it will continue to freeze" Kyai said.
" It's like your love story with your sister-in-law" said Mr. Kyai.
Yes, Akmal had indeed told Mr. Kyai earlier, and Akmal deliberately told him, because he wanted to hear the advice of people he respected, so that his grief was slightly treated.
" If you keep it in your heart, it won't evaporate and you'll be stuck with your love story" advises Mr. Kyai.
" But if you let him fly freely, lillahi ta'ala because of God, God willing that love will not go away from you" said Pak Kyai again.
" And remember one thing, she is your sister-in-law, sinning her law, if you keep thinking about her, who is obviously already the wife of your own Big Brother Nak" advises Pak Kyai again, akmal was still listening.
" Then what should I do with my future wife Pak Kyai???" asked Akmal again.
" If you like, go ahead, if not leave " replied a brief from Mr. Kyai.
" Let's not let there be a lot of hurt hearts, just because you still continue to defend what you shouldn't expect" said Mr. Kyai.
" Akmal," some call Akmal, and the call makes Akmal aware of his daydreaming.
" Eh yes, what is Mas??" asked Akmal to his brother.
" It's called Auntie, he said your future wife with her family has come" replied the brother.
" Oh, yes Mas, thank you, Akmal excuse me then '" Akmal replied and the brother just nodded.
Akmal was a little surprised, when the mother turned out to invite Aalifa and her Family too.
For some reason, Akmal's heart was increasingly uncomfortable with being next to Aalifa, but Akmal was very difficult to say honestly to his family, what has become his recent turmoil.
" Boom Akmal," said Aalifa cheerfully, and Aalifa seemed shameless, for it seemed to show everyone present, if she was the future wife of the handsome Lecturer of a million people.
Akmal only smiled faintly to see Aalifa, and as a sign of politeness, Akmal finally chose to accompany the Family of the prospective in-laws.
" The event is very crowded, yes" said Mr. Ismail.
" I'm sorry, Papa just got here, the road was very jammed, '" said Mr. Ismail again.
" Yes Pa, it's okay" Akmal replied.
" Oh, sister, where's Cyra, huh,? I have a gift for her" said Aalifa.
" He's the same, here he is, let Brother give him '" replied Akmal.
Not that Akmal's heart wanted to be close to Cyra, only that Akmal was afraid that Aalifa, alone with Cyra, would say no, because it can make Cyra more and more thoughts or burdens.
" No, no,!! it was the most subterfuge Brother alone, so that it could be close to Sister Cyra!! ," replied Aalifa while whispering in Akmal's ear, as they were sitting side by side.
If there were any more empty seats, Akmal would not sit next to Aalifa, he would have chosen to step aside, just that it was the circumstances that made him sit close to Aalifa.
Hearing Aalifa's reply, Akmal immediately took a very long breath, so as not to be provoked by emotions.
After many hours of the event, finally the lecture held by Rafiq's father, went smoothly and finished as expected.
If the one who picked up Mr. Kyai was Akmal, this time Mr. Kyai was brought home by someone else who was still a relative with Rafiq's Father's Family, because Akmal was in Aalifa's Family.
Akmal, Rafiq's father, Mama Jian, Umma Nada, Mama Atika, Aalifa, Cyra, Mirza, Saqif and her two younger sisters Aalifa, are among others, right now they were all sitting together in the Family room of Rafiq's father's house.
" Sister Cyra, this is Aalifa bringing something for Sister '" Aalifa told Cyra.
" Thank you Miss Aalifa" said Cyra.
They then had a casual conversation about this and that, especially about Akmal and Aalifa's marriage.
" Oh yes Mr. Rafiq, for the wedding of our children, everything I have prepared, " said Mr. Ismail.
" Thank God, I'm glad to hear it sir" replied Rafiq's father.
" I also brought many invitations in the car, for you to share with relatives later" said Mr. Ismail again.
" Yes sir" replied Rafiq's father.
" Hopefully it can run smoothly until the day H" said Mr. Ismail, and the words of Mr. Ismail, immediately amiinkan by everyone, except Akmal.
Aalifa was very happy, because Akmal did not speak to all of them about his plans to cancel their marriage.
Finished satisfied talking this and that, finally, the Aalifa Family said goodbye to the big family of Rafiq's father.
Long story short finished dinner, suddenly Akmal came to meet the father who was reading something in his study.
" What is Akmal, just go in here" replied Rafiq's father.
Akmal, who was standing at the door, just walked in and sat in the front seat of his desk.
" There's something Akmal has to tell Dad" Akmal said.
" Let's just say Nak" Rafiq's father said.
" Akmal doesn't seem to be able to continue this wedding Dad, because Aalifa isn't among the women Akmal wants '" Akmal told Dad.
Rafiq's father who was busy reading, immediately looked towards Akmal with a surprised expression.
" Why are you talking like that, son?" asked Rafiq's father.
" What made you want to cancel your marriage??" asked Rafiq's father again.
" Aalifa, Dad, doesn't like the attitude of Akmal" Akmal replied.
" Akmal has been trying to be honest with all of you since yesterday, only the time is not right" Akmal said again.
" But all the invitations have started to spread Nak" said Rafiq's father.
" If you cancel it, it can make our family ashamed" Rafiq's father said again.
" Let all Akmal take care of Dad, if you allow Akmal not to continue this matchmaking event???" Akmal replied.
" Then, if you don't want to continue this wedding, who do you want to marry, Akmal??? " asked Rafiq's father.
" You are too old if you have to travel to find a wife" Rafiq's father said.
" Should you have carried a child like everyone else, and actually the criteria of the wife you're looking for is it a child??" asked Rafiq's father.
" What is less than Nak Aalifa?? ," asked Rafiq's father.
" She is kind, beautiful, beautiful, and she is definitely independent, then what are you looking for besides that??" Rafiq's father said.
" Maybe you do not know him fully, so you consider Nak Aalifa's attitude is not good for you, try to survive first, more night prayers, to ask for guidance from Him, Son ," father Rafiq's advice again and Akmal still faithfully listened.
" Excuse me, '" replied Akmal.
Hearing all the words from the father, Akmal could conclude, if he was not allowed to cancel his wedding which was just counting days.
